Photographer's Note

We went to Matheran in the month of August last year (2006). It was raining heavily through out the day. We trekked about 15 kms. It was an excellent experience of rain, sleepy trail & game of cloud & wind. This picture depicts that game. Immidiately after this picture taken, cloud behind the tree got dissapeared & a clear scenic beuty of westerghat was before us.
